ell summer’s here, and the pavement is sizzling.

Surprisingly, so is the real estate market. Normally people take the summer off to go on vacation and laze around beaches or swimming pools, but evidently this year people have decided their recreational activities will include camping out on a sidewalk to be first in line to scoop up a beautiful new pre-sale condo or townhome in one of Metro Vancouver’s exciting new developments.

As we pointed out last issue, the summertime can be a great time to

look for a new home for many reasons.

This year, one of those reasons is the great opportunity to buy into one of the sought-after new highrises and townhome developments springing up very close to new Skytrain and transit hubs all over the Lower Mainland.

First in line means first choice for the home, the floorplan and the view you want the most. While others spend the summer flopped on a beach towel with a trashy novel, those with the foresight to get in on the action first just might have the last laugh — if not the tan lines.

Dear Mortgage, I’m taking time off to cook up a new career.

Take time off from your mortgage payment.

A flexible mortgage from TD allows you to concentrate on something you’ve always wanted to do. Just add a little extra to your regular payments and then have the option to take a payment vacation for up to four months1.

It’s just one of TD’s flexible mortgage features.

Breeze Parkside

Living Has arrived » by SuSan M Boyce Summer’s here and there’s no question that the living is easy at Breeze in South Surrey.

Barbeques are sizzling, kids laugh as they dash from yard to yard with their friends, and colourful flowers seem to be springing up everywhere throughout the lavishly landscaped community.

“People love the South Surrey neighbourhood because it’s so central to everything — White Rock Beach, the US border, shopping at Morgan Crossing, the freeway to Vancouver or the airports,” says sales manager Stephanie Sonnenberg. “It’s also sunny. Did you know we have more sunshine here than anywhere else in the Lower Mainland?”

Actually I did, but then I grew up in White Rock so you could say that’s cheating a bit. Still, Stephanie and I spend a few moments comparing notes on our favourite sunshine spots: White Rock Beach, Crescent Beach, Serpentine Fen, and the Semiahmoo Trail come up top of our combined must visit places.

Get Active: Get SociAl A young couple with yoga mats tucked under their arms wave as they pass by the presentation centre. Clearly they’re headed toward the West Coast Club at Breeze. From past visits, I know this freestanding amenity has become a social hub, the heart and soul of the Breeze neighbourhood, but as Stephanie lists off all the new events even I’m surprised.

Yoga classes lead by one of the homeowners, dance classes, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations — there’s no doubt in my mind that people love having a local place to gather 16 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | JUL 25 - AUG 8, 2014

“People love the South Surrey neighbourhood because it’s so central to everything.” - Stephanie Sonnenberg

and hang out. Stephanie laughs. “Actually, the other day our vice president of marketing tried to book space for a corporate event, and everything was already being used… so he had to reschedule his event.”

StyliSh outlook Today, though, I’m here to check out the new Premier Parkside Villas, Breeze’s final two phases. Like the entire community, these three- and four-bedroom homes boast eye-catching flat rooflines, portico-style entryway, plus soffits and horizontally oriented siding in a warm, natural stained cedar. “Our architectural style is quite different than anything else you’ll see in this area,” Stephanie says. “It’s more contemporary, a genuine reflection of our Live West Coast philosophy.”

Even better, she adds, this phase’s “Parkside” moniker fits perfectly. “The City of Surrey is developing a brand new park right behind these homes — so you really will be overlooking natural greenery. You could say we saved the best for last.”

Inside, there’s all the attention to detail I’ve come to expect from Adera. Open concept floor plans filled with sunshine and an easy-going sense of flow. The colour palette gives a visual lightness that, to me, seems perfectly in sync with a community located this close to the ocean.

Breeze’s kitchens, Stephanie says, are a huge hit with buyers.

“They’re big, they’re bright, and even if you’re downsizing from a single-family home, you still have plenty of space for cooking and storage.” They also have one of my personal favourites, a detail so simple I can’t believe more homes don’t incorporate it — the giant eating bar has mitered corners so you’re not always bumping into the pointy bit. Well, okay, so I’m not always bumping into it.

Best of all, with Adera’s now well known i.D. By Me program of over 80 different optional finishings, people can personalize their home so it exactly fits their lifestyle. “It’s nice knowing your home will be completely different from your neighbour’s,” Stephanie says.

AwArd winninG deSiGn Like every Adera community, Breeze is proud to be a model of sustainability and eco-friendly design. It’s received two International Gold Nugget Awards of Merit — one in the Multi-Family Housing Project category, the other in the International Residential Project category — and was also named Most Affordable Certified Home as well as Most Energy Efficient and Sustainable Community at the prestigious 2013 department G Awards sponsored by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – BC Chapter.

“People appreciate knowing their homes are easier on the environment,” Stephanie says. “And they save money on their day-to-day energy costs, so it’s a double bonus.”

See for yourSelf The Breeze presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. every day at 15 – 16223 – 23A Ave. in South Surrey. Prices start at just $329,900 with floorplans ranging from two-bedroom and den to spacious, family-oriented four-bedrooms. Be sure to ask about Breeze’s summer incentive — for a limited time, Adera will pay the net taxes on your home purchase. for more information visit adera.com, call 604.582.1113, or email breeze@adera.com.

The market is hot

It’s a strong Market for real estate » by cameron mcneill

is the owner of MAC Marketing Solutions, one of B.C.’s and Alberta’s leading real estate sales and marketing firms. Cameron also co-founded TAC Real Estate, a resale firm, and MPC Intelligence, a real estate market-research firm. Together with his experienced and dedicated team of sales, marketing and administration professionals, he has transacted more than 14,000 new homes and $5 billion in sales.

For the first time in 3 years, the housing market is experiencing a significant increase in homebuyer demand as monthly home sales surpassed the 3,000 mark this past May. A key indicator of this strong market can be typically gauged by analyzing the Sales to Active Listings Ratio which provides an overall picture of the available homes on the market and how many of those homes have sold.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported a 14 per cent increase in Multiple Service Listing Service in May 2014, compared to this time last year. The Sales to Active Listings Ratio is currently sitting at 21.3 per cent.

Although 18-22 per cent indicates a balanced market, there are areas already showing a seller’s market, which simply means there is more demand than the number of home listings available for sale. For example, homes listed in Yaletown in the month of May were only on market for an average of 36 days and achieved close to 96% of the original list price. According to the REBGV, this is the most active marketplace they’ve seen since the spring of 2011.

A strong market typically means that home buyers must make a faster purchasing decision once they find a home they want. Naturally, listings sell more quickly when there are more people looking for homes than there are homes available. The benchmark price for a home in Metro Vancouver is at $628,200 as of June 2014, which is a 4.4 per cent increase, compared to June 2013. The average price of homes is expected to continue to trend upwards in a conservative fashion.

The benchmark price for a home in Metro Vancouver is at $628,200 as of June 2014, which is a 4.4 per cent increase, compared to June 2013.

In the current market, it pays to be ready to make an offer as soon as you find the home that meets your needs.

Preparation is key — spend some time prioritizing what it is you are looking for in a home, be open minded and explore the offerings in a wide range of neighbourhoods and get yourself pre-approved for a mortgage.

//Q&A

Hot trends for cool homes Q&A with Lynn hArrison » by SuSan M Boyce Q: What are some of the ways we’re using our homes differently?

A: Home offices have become commonplace. As little as 15 years ago, most people would never admit that they worked from home.

Today almost everyone has some form of workspace at home, and it’s something many large corporations encourage.

Using a spare room as a workout space is another trend that’s rapidly becoming the norm rather than the exception. And we’re not just talking about a StairMaster or a standing bicycle hidden away in a closet — these are full-on gyms.

Zen Townhomes offers kitchens that are fully decked out extras like built-in wine fridge so they’re ready to sizzle.

One sure way to get Vancouverites talking is to mention the word “housing.” What’s hot and what’s not? Who’s buying and who’s holding back? You just never know what you’re going to hear round the water cooler, but you know the conversation will be lively and intense.

This issue, New Home Guide chats with Lynn Harrison, chair of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) and president of Harrison Marketing Resources Ltd, about some of the trends she’s seeing in the local residential construction industry.

Q: Housing affordability is always a topic we love to hate. How do buyers balance the features they want with the price they’re willing, or able, to pay?

A: For most younger or first time buyers, it’s all about being close to amenities and their friends.

They don’t mind giving up living space because it’s more important to be able to afford a home that’s near the things they enjoy.

More mature or downsizing buyers don’t necessarily want to stay in the same neighbourhood as long as they can find a home that suits them. They know what they want and they aren’t willing to settle for less. Now they want modern, they want new, and they’re want all the luxuries that make them feel pampered. In short, they’re free form all the compromises they had to make while they were raising their kids.

Another interesting observation is seeing young families purchasing a townhome with master on the main, because they typically offer a larger footprint. Even though these buyers would love to buy a single-family house, they can’t afford one. Multi-family is an option that’s within their budget and still gives them the space they need.

22 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | JUL 25 - AUG 8, 2014

Q: Any insider thoughts on what’s hot in fixtures and finishings?

A: Lighting is becoming more glittery — lots of crystals and shine.

It’s a great way to add some glamour even in a minimalist setting. You can make a fashion statement without necessarily incurring a huge cost.

All about resort-style living and ambiance, the clubhouse with pool is a much-loved community amenity at Clayton Rise

by Townline.

A lush, inviting streetscape at Hampstead, part of the trend-setting Silver Ridge master planned community of single-family homes by Portrait Homes.

“In new homes that are aimed at the downsize market, we’re also seeing features like wine fridges, double wall ovens, builtin cappuccino machines, and steam showers with multiple water sprays becoming a standard.”

Lynn Harrison There’s the sustainability component. If you don’t need to leave your neighbourhood for things like groceries, coffee shops, or services, you’ll naturally tend to rely less on your cars. And for seniors or anyone who has elderly parents, having those amenities close is extremely positive.

Because the design is higher density, you’re more likely to get to know your neighbours, so a greater sense of community develops more quickly. Let’s face it, there’s something cool about walking your dog and knowing most of the people you meet along the way.

Strata communities also offer the no-maintenance, lock’n’go lifestyle many move-down buyers are looking for — walking trails, parks, lavishly appointed amenity buildings, everything is right there. And you never have to mow the lawn or clean the gutters again.

Waterfall countertops like this granite beauty at Elements in Langley are increasingly making an appearance in well-dressed homes.

Quartz and composite stone are replacing granite as the countertop of choice — even in starter homes. And you’ll probably see more of the waterfall finishing in the future — the surface “cascading” down one end of the eating bar.

In new homes that are aimed at the downsize market, we’re also seeing features like wine fridges, double wall ovens, built-in cappuccino machines, and steam showers with multiple water sprays becoming a standard. This demographic is quite willing to purchase a home that’s much smaller than the 4,000-square-foot house they used to have but they do want it fully decked out — especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Q: Will the proliferation of village-style, master planned strata communities continue to rise in popularity and if so, why?

A: I think so and I hope so — for several reasons.

Downsize your home,

“upsize” your life! » by anthony jong

The age of retirement comes upon us in the blink of an eye.

Many retirees have certainly been saving up for most of their lives in order to live comfortably in their golden years. A survey conducted by BMO suggests that the average amount needed for Canadian Baby Boomers to retire comfortably is $658,000. Surprisingly, they have only saved an average amount of $228,000. This $430,000 shortfall makes most Baby Boomers in Canada unprepared for the future.

The selling of prized possessions and a lower standard of living are typical things that await Baby Boomers to compensate for this shortfall. That means no more golf club memberships, vacations, new cars and the newest models of electronics. The biggest compensation is downsizing homes.

Anyone who has owned a home the past decade in Toronto has likely seen its value appreciate between 50 to over 100 per cent. As retirement approaches, the decision to downsize your home may be one of the smartest choices you make without sacrificing your standard of living.

I had the pleasure of working with a retired couple who owned a house in a neighbourhood that was predominantly inhabited by empty nesters. Like many other families, their

children had flocked away to the jobs and busy lifestyles of the city. The couple wanted to recoup some of the equity from the house sale and place a portion of it into a less-expensive home, while saving the rest in a retirement fund. The two of them explored the option of moving to a centrally based location with a reliance on public transportation. It would also mean a different lifestyle than they had been used to for the past 30 years – condominium living.

The condo lifestyle does away with back-breaking yard work, snow shoveling, eavestrough cleaning, window washing, furnace maintenance, airconditioner breakdown, and higher property taxes. Throw all that away and replace these obstacles with a long list of amenities including security and concierge, spa lounges, tranquil outdoor

If you are on the cusp of retirement and downsizing is an option, explore all the various condominiums and what they have to offer. I know my clients did, and they have no regrets of making that leap.

Developers have realized that condo residences should not close themselves off from the outside world. They are, on the contrary, a place of social gathering where residents can mingle or find a quiet spot for some rest, relaxation, and sun. Our standards of living have evolved. spaces, large-scale party rooms with gourmet kitchens, golf simulator, pool table room, and gym complete with professional exercise equipment. Now, give me a chance before you shoot me down and scream “maintenance fees!”

The fact that you pay monthly maintenance costs to cover part of these utilities (typically gas, water and security monitoring) and all the necessary grounds keeping such as yard and snow shoveling is well worth the money for hassle-free living in retirement. On top of this easy lifestyle, new condominium projects are incorporating specialized amenities.

Back in the ’80s and ’90s, condominium living was more about your private living space. You arrive at the building, go up the elevator, and lock yourself in the unit. Some older

condominiums have an exercise room, a swimming pool, and perhaps a small party room that no one ever uses. The old condo lifestyle was quite contained and amenities were never at the forefront. When you step into a condominium nowadays, it is a bustling community. Today’s developers have realized that condo residences should not close themselves off from the outside world. They are, on the contrary, a place of social gathering where residents can mingle or find a quiet spot for some rest, relaxation, and sun. Our standards of living have evolved. Condo developments are incorporating new amenities such as cooking classes in the party room’s gourmet kitchen, wine-tasting bars beside sun lounges, rooftop gardens, and tranquil spa services to complete the experience. Exercise rooms have also been upgraded with well-stocked professional equipment. Best of all, the 24-hour on-site concierge will keep an eye out on your unit with an integrated security system when you leave on an extended vacation.

If you are on the cusp of retirement and downsizing is an option, explore all the various condominiums and what they have to offer. I know my clients did, and they have no regrets of making that leap.

//make your move

Read & understand your contract for a successful move » by ChuCk ResniCk

ChuCk ResniCk is vice-president of marketing and operations, Two Men and a Truck Canada. twomenandatruck.ca

There’s an old rule in business: what is not in writing was never said.

Although some agreements may need just a handshake, others that involve a multitude of variables require a contract so that all the parties understand what is expected of them. This is particularly true when you hire professional movers. You’re obviously the “who,” but we also need to know exactly “what,” “where” and “when” in order to transport your items to your new place. Within those general categories, there can be many details, and finding out about them on moving day is counter-productive. Think ahead.

The first thing to do is find a reputable mover. You can check online with the Better Business Bureau or the Canadian Association of Movers, and of course, find out who friends and family members have used. Select a company that has a tried-and-true track record. Then ask questions, and remember that the movers should be asking you a lot of questions as well to determine exactly what the move will entail.

When we meet customers to arrange their move, we need to know about everything they expect to take so we can prepare as accurate an estimate as possible.

In many ways, estimating is a science.

Computers help, but the results are only as good as the information we input. Telling us on moving day that you forgot you want to take the shed in the backyard can hold things up for hours. It will also add to your costs.

And speaking of costs, we need to know well ahead of time if you want us to provide the service of packing. Deciding this two days before the move likely won’t work. In addition, if we have quoted only

36 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | JUL 25 - AUG 8, 2014

on moving and not on packing, a new contract will have to be drawn up with a higher price. If you do the packing yourself, read the contract as to whether and for how much your items are covered, should damages occur.

We also have to know whether you have anything other than Point A to Point B in mind for moving day. If you forgot to tell us that your dining room set has to be dropped off somewhere else first, it’s like the meter running in a taxicab. You will pay more for unexpected side trips. Plus, unless we know in advance, we may pack the dining set in an awkward place for unloading partway to your destination. Again, this will cost you time and money – two things that are precious commodities on moving day.

It is our responsibility as professional movers to ask the right questions, but until we develop ESP, we need to rely on you to explain what you need from us. A contract protects you as much as the movers, but only if you read it, understand it and abide by it.

At Two Men and a Truck Canada, we follow The Grandma Rule: we treat everyone the way we would want our grandmothers to be treated – with dignity, courtesy, respect, honesty and trust.

We all want everything to go smoothly on moving day – and when we communicate and work together, it does!

YORK

Driven by design » by SuSan M Boyce Meandering leisurely through Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood, I pass through a roundabout and instantly there’s no question I’ve arrived at my destination. The charming, distinctive architectural design is pure MOSAIC Homes, a style that’s unique and instantly recognizable at any distance.

This is YORK, a collection of two- and three-bedroom, shingle-style rowhomes unlike anything else in the area. “We made a conscious decision to move back towards a heritage influence yet remain very contemporary,” explains MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker pointing out the way boldly coloured front doors give a dramatic visual “pop” against the crisp white and ocean grey exterior.

There’s a feeling here, an ambiance of welcome that appears effortless yet only happens with meticulous planning and a passionate obsession for design.

Every detail — from YORK’s covered front stoops with suspended lanterns to the mullioned windows and gabled rooflines — is perfectly proportioned.

And even though I’ve come to expect nothing less than lavishly layered

landscaping from any MOSAIC community, as I head toward the first showhome I have to resist an urge to simply settle down on one of the park benches and admire the gardens.

Country Modern

“Now that was… well, that was beautiful. I think we can stop looking, don’t you? And the kitchen is…” I can’t hear the woman’s precise comment as she emerges from the first showhome, but from the way her husband is nodding his head, it’s clear they’re in total agreement.

Stepping inside, I instantly understand the couple’s enthusiasm. Centrally located on the main living level, this kitchen is ready for serious cooking — white marble counter, slim-profile hood fan, and a personal favourite, penny-round backsplash in white. Custom cabinetry seamlessly blends traditional Shaker-style design with urban-chic pulls while laminate oak flooring creates a natural flow. Every design aspect is about balance.

One of the most intriguing heritage references, however, is the ever-so-gently curved archway that delineates the living room and dining area from the kitchen. It’s a minimalist form I’ve already noticed on the front porch and built-in art niches above the stairs — both of them beautiful and so thoughtfully designed. experIenCe the yorK dIfferenCe

“YORK really is something you need to experience,” Geoff says. “We know consumers have so many options when it comes to where they purchase a home in the Willoughby neighbourhood. But when they visit, they realize they can’t get a home like this anywhere else.

YORK simply looks better and lives better — it’s all part of YORK’s unique charm.” yorK offers a total of 94 two- and three-bedroom rowhomes priced from $264,900. The home Store and three show homes are open noon to 6 p.m. seven days a week at 8476 – 207A Street (just off 84th Avenue) in Langley. for more information visit mosaichomes. com/york or call 604.882.6758.

You get what you pay for: Exploring no-Frills MortgagEs » by Jorge & AlisA ArAgon

Jorge & AlisA ArAgon

are Mortgage Experts with Dominion Lending Centres Mountain View. They are active members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association. Jorge & Alisa focus on the overall needs and plans of their clients and then find the best mortgage to suit their needs.

For more information visit YourMortgageSolutionsGroup.ca or contact them at aaragon@dominionlending.ca.

While No-Frills mortgage products typically offer a lower – more discounted – interest rate when compared with many other available products, the lower rate is really their only perk.

This type of product will only seem like the best choice for you if you have no plans to take advantage of benefits that will help you pay off your mortgage faster – such as pre-payment privileges and lump-sum payments.

Essentially, this product is only ideal for: first-time homebuyers who want fixed payments and have limited opportunities to make lump-sum payments during the first five years of their mortgage, and property investors who need a low fixed rate and are not concerned with making lump-sum payments.

No-Frills products also won’t let you take your mortgage with you if you purchase another property before your mortgage term is up, meaning that “portability” is not an option with this product.

Portability is an important option that could save you money over the long term if the home of your dreams is within your reach before your mortgage term is up and rates have risen, which they have a tendency to do over a five-year period.

It’s understandable why these products may seem appealing.

After all, during tougher economic times who has the extra cash to put down a huge lump-sum payment? And who needs a portable mortgage if they’re not planning on moving until the market picks up? But it’s important to remember that a lot can change over the course of five years – or whatever term you choose for your mortgage.

No-Frills products also won’t let you take your mortgage with you if you purchase another property before your mortgage term is up, meaning that “portability” is not an option with this product.

You can still obtain great mortgage savings without giving up the perks of traditional mortgages. For starters, many lenders are willing to offer significant discounts if you opt for a “quick close”; which means that you complete the transaction within a determined period offered by the lender (within 30 or 45 days).

There are other ways in which to save more money. For instance, by switching to weekly or bi-weekly mortgage payments, by obtaining a variable-rate mortgage and increasing your payments to match those of the going five-year fixed rate, you will be far ahead of the savings compared to a No-Frills mortgage interest rate.

No-Frills products are a great example of why interest rates are not the only important factor to consider when deciding whether to opt for a particular mortgage product. Much like buying a car, you get what you pay for. If you don’t want a car with air conditioning, a stereo, a cup holder, and so on, then you can get the cheapest car going — but you’ll likely regret it later.

Mixing it Up Âť by blima ehrentreu

The colours, patterns, materials and textures in a space create impact and can enhance the feel of any room. To add visual interest and achieve an inviting atmosphere,

consider combining these elements to achieve a well-balanced space.

When deciding on the colour palette, start with a piece of wall art you really love, or a rug or chair that has a beautiful colour, and seek inspiration from it.

Find patterns and prints that embody your focal point piece, or that complement it in colour and style. This will ensure you love the space you design.

Think in Threes. Incorporate an odd number of patterns into a room’s design, using a minimum of three, and focus on their scale and colour when combining them.

The first pattern should be a large, dominant one. Next, select a fabric with pattern that includes similar colours, but is smaller in print size. The third pattern needs to unite the first two, either through colour or print. Try three patterns, in a range of scales, such as a bold floral, a wide stripe, and a small geometric. The more variety of scale in your patterns, the more comfortable and welcoming the space will feel.

42 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | JUL 25 - AUG 8, 2014

Try repeating colours from pattern to pattern as well as in other parts of the room. This creates continuity in the space and enhances the overall look. It is best to accentuate underplayed, shared colours in different prints. If you use one pattern, such as a geometric, repeat it somewhere else in the room, even if the colour and scale change. Choose prints that have a monochromatic design and that do not compete visually with the bold colours around it. size maTTers. Often, a large-scale print can be too big for a pillow or for prinT, colour, repeaT.

have more curvature and floral prints.

Too much of one colour, pattern or texture in a room can look overwhelmingly busy. The trick is to blend patterns well.

Whether designing a more contemporary or traditional space, always include solids when mixing prints, to balance out the patterns. Solids add a sense of calm to any space. Always include solids in a room with a bold colour palette or strong features. Great patterns stand out brighter in a room where the eye has a place to rest, such as a solid chair or a neutral wall. Using varying shades of chocolate brown, grays, white and beige can mix and match patterns easily because the outcome is a mixture of varying levels of impact.

5 simple Tips To playing up paTTerns: ›› Play with pattern size: offset a small-scale pattern with a large-scale one nearby

›› Repeat colours in patterns

›› Use texture to blend patterns together

›› Break up colours with neutral tones

›› Always remember: less is more

a small room, so be sure to select a print that works well with the space. Using a large print on an area rug is a great way to add pattern to any room, while not overwhelming the space. Using large, bold patterns help in visually enlarging the room. The larger the pattern, the bigger the room can appear.

For a modern, clean look, stick to geometric patterns and straight lines. It is okay to mix different geometric patterns, as long as their sizes and colours vary. I like to add different textures to a space because it helps mix up patterns and brings life to a room. For a more traditional look, select patterns that sTyle maTTers.

Buying made easy

Top 10 Tips for Home Buyers » by kris grasty Buying a home for most people is a very stressful procedure. With the right professionals in your corner and solid advice, you will find the process smooth and predictable! Here are some must do tips that will help you navigate through it all.

1. Speak with your Mortgage

Broker – Know your ideal price point

kris grasty

is a mortgage broker with Dominion Lending Centre’s Canadian Mortgage Experts and an active member of the MBABC. Kris maintains a strong focus on educating clients on all options.

For more information visit his website at www.krisgrasty.ca or reach him at kris@cmexp.com.

and ensure that you can qualify for a mortgage before you start shopping. An in-depth conversation with a Licensed Mortgage Broker will prepare you for the entire process. Failure to obtain proper financial guidance up front can result in losing out on your dream home. The guidance will assist you in budgeting and put you at ease through what could otherwise be a stressful process.

2. Select the right realtor®

– Find a trusted and qualified professional who has intimate knowledge of the area(s) you want to purchase in. A neighborhood’s character, pricing and suitability can vary greatly just one street away. A good Realtor® should be a “specialist” in your desired area allowing you to find the right home at the right price.

3. learn aBout the

neighBorhood – Visit your desired

neighborhood at different times of the day and week. Are there parks, schools and amenities nearby? If starting a family, is it a child friendly area? Is the home similar to others in the immediate area? Major differences in homes or development can affect future resale value.

46 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | JUL 25 - AUG 8, 2014

4. liSt your “needS” and “wantS” – What type of property

are you looking for? How much room do you need today? If starting a family, how much room will you need in the future?

Picking the right home now may save you money down the road!

5. hire a quality profeSSional hoMe inSpector – Several hundred dollars spent now can save you thousands in the future. Identify issues with the property up front and learn of the home’s current state of repair. Some fixes are simple yet others may require substantial amounts of money to rectify.

6. pay attention to red flagS – Signs of water damage, rot, plumbing, electrical and foundation issues can be major issues and should not be taken lightly. Costly repairs or “special assessments” can quickly eat up any equity you have in the home.

7. keep your head in the gaMe – Buying a home has an

emotional component, for sure, but this is likely a long term investment. Staying objective can save you money up front and help make you money later. Don’t let emotions drive you into more home than you can afford; keep a few of the top homes you like in mind and work through the pros and cons of each.

8. avoid high preSSure and Bidding warS – If you feel as though you are being pushed, stop and reevaluate as there may be an important detail that you have overlooked. Bidding wars only have one winner, the Seller! Entering into bidding wars often leads to overpaying for a property.

9. Be prepared to negotiate and to coMproMiSe –

Price, closing and possession dates are major parts of the contract.

Be prepared to negotiate on other items such as small repairs, appliances or other desired items in the home. Keep the big picture in mind; how will your new life fit in your new home?

10. aSk, aSk and aSk again! – If there is a detail that begs a

question or something is ever unclear, ask and your team of professionals will be pleased to elaborate and explain so that you feel more confident in your decisions.

Located on Pender Island, a 2,662square-foot, million dollar-plus home has been donated to the BC Cancer Foundation (BCCF) for auction, and on August 22, 2014, will be sold via unreserved auction with 100% of all net proceeds going directly to the BCCF to fund cancer research.

Artful construction features include wood from trees felled on the property, open concept design, a wrap-around sundeck accessible from all three bedrooms, plus exquisite landscaping including a tree-lined private driveway. The house was donated by Robert Conconi as a thank you for the exception care he received from BCCF while he battled — and beat — throat cancer.

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home

01 02 03

Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04

Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay.

Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most firsttime buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05

06 07

Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000. » Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice andget pre-qualified.
